BDO Global
BDO (an acronym for Binder Dijker Otte) is an international professional services network of public accounting, tax, consulting and business advisory firms headquartered in Zaventem, Belgium. The network is coordinated by BDO Global Coordination B.V., a limited liability company incorporated in Belgium, while each BDO member firm is part of BDO International Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee.
BDO is the fifth-largest accounting network in the world, with global income of its member firms totalling US$ 15 billion in 2024. Each BDO member firm is an independent legal entity in its own country. The network was founded in 1963 as Binder Seidman International Group by firms from Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the US. In 1973, the organisation adopted the name BDO, made up from the initials of the three founding firms: Binder (UK), Dijker (Netherlands) and Otte (Germany).
Established in 1975, BDO Australia has offices in Brisbane, Cairns, Sunshine Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin. It offers financial services and business advisory services.
While starting as an association of independently owned accounting firms, BDO Australia has since undergone several significant mergers that include:
In mid 2024, BDO established an office in Canberra, the capital of Australia, for its federal government advisory sector.
BDO Canada is one of Canada's largest accounting services firms. Founded by James M. Dunwoody (affectionately known as "The Colonel" by BDO's employees[citation needed]) it opened its first location in the 1920s in Winnipeg, Manitoba. By the early 2000s, Dunwoody and BDO Ward Mallette, a firm based out of Toronto, had merged. The union also consolidated the firm's affiliation with BDO International, a global network of national accounting firms.
In 2007, BDO had 95 offices across Canada, with 1,200 professionals and over 300 partners. BDO's services run from assurance, accounting and taxation services to financial advisory and corporate recovery. The company has merged a number of times, including a merger announced in October 2009 with the accounting firm of Hudson LLP.
From 1 January 2010 'Dunwoody' was dropped from the company name to coincide with a global rebrand which saw all of the BDO member firms change their names to BDO. The rebrand, which included design, messaging, all of the separate global websites, marketing collateral and trickle-down implementation across the 110-country network took just over five months. The intention was to create a global consistency, so that the BDO network could be presented as a single entity.
